Fake “Certified” Gold Coins DISCOVERED at Coin Shop WOW

this video I show off some FAKE GOLD COINS that were discovered at Harry's coin shop. Someone brought in fake slabbed gold coins and tried to sell them to the shop. The fake gold coins appeared to be certified and were even in NGC holders. The holders were fake along with the coins. Fake gold and fake silver scams are becoming more prevalent. If you want to avoid getting scammed then you need to be checking all of your gold and silver for authenticity. There are many different types of fake gold coins out there such as fake gold buffalo coins, fake Krugerrand gold coins, fake gold eagle coins, and fake pre 33 gold coins like I show in the video. one easy fake gold coins test is to see if you coin is magnetic. Counterfeit gold coins can be made out of a variety of materials so they will not all be magnetic. Tungsten fake gold coins are the hardest to detect but they do exist. I hope this video was helpful feel free to watch my video on fake silver eagles as well:

Don’t forget to check out my video on FAKE Silver Eagles ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYWbq3Sjhax8a6s in case anyone is wondering about the gold coins in this video: The person who brought in the fake gold coins let us film the video and then took them when he left. I have no idea where he got the coins from he said that he bought them private party and thought he could still get his money back. seems a little suspicious to me but who knows…

[@davidstepro7486]

yeah, why involve the police when it was only in the thousands of dollars.

[@newt7590]

If all these gold and silver coins are so easily faked and hard to determine they’re fake, I’m not sure what the value is to them.

Did they test it to see if it was at least Gold plated or was it completely fake like brass or copper mix?

[@williambush7971]

If a dealer told me my coin was fake and tried to confiscate it there would be trouble. It would be to easy for a crooked dealer to say that about a good coin and keep it.

[@WorldMoneyWins]

Thats why offering to call the police would be handy. Counterfeiting US currency is a felony. A dealer NOT calling the police is then an accessory to a felony. (I think)

[@SilverDragons47]

yeah I could really see it either way but having the police there would be handy I imagine 🔥🐉

[@watthaile2053]

Exactly. That wouldn't happen. Try to keep my coins and I'd be the one calling the police.

[@donavonrobbins1908]

So the dealer has to weigh either screwing the community by keeping his mouth shut, which seems to be occurring in the video, or calling the police anyway and then potentially getting video of you in the store and video of your car in the lot. Then when they find you, you having to convince them that you weren't intentionally trying to defraud that dealer. If I were the investigator, I would also take your picture to other dealers to find out if they e had any run ins with you. Or, just stay and cooperate and maybe even get help locating the person who sold you the bad coins.

[@justdoingitjim7095]

I used to work with a guy who would buy silver coins from eBay. I asked him if he ever got any of them certified and he said no. I suggested some of them might be fake and this started him worrying. So, he sent in his most valuable coins for certification. Three of the ten coins he sent in were fake. He took the rest of his coins to a coin shop to get them tested and they found more fake coins. He quit buying from eBay and started buying only from the coin shop.

[@tgraymk]

Confiscation seems a bit weird and not necessarily lawful. I'm not a coinshop owner, so maybe my ideas aren't the beat to go by, but at that point I'd offer a drill press test, or a call to authorities. I don't think I'd want to let an un-drilled counterfeit leave the shop, but I think taking possession of fake bullion is solely the right of the state.

[@phlodel]

If it was my coin, I'm keeping it. I'M pretty sure the coin shop owner has no legal right to confiscate or deface anything.

[@tgraymk]

@@phlodel certainly true on the confiscate part, as for the defacing, the drill test is standard for detecting fakes, and it's better than having you name on a police report for trying to sell counterfeit bullion. I grew up in the Shore Points, lot of cash business there. Everybody gets stuck with a fake $20 bill in their life there. So I'm used to the idea on having to take an L over a counterfeit.

I love platinum. Weigh it, measure it, done.

[@kbbpll7338]

Another tip is to download a free QR reader and scan the barcode. Many of these fake labels are too poor to scan, or return info that doesn't match the cert and grade (counterfeiters are not just sleazy, they're lazy). One criticism - you emphasize "buy the coin, not the holder", but say nothing about how to identify that the coin is fake. Comparing the one with the NGC images was a perfect opportunity to note that the fake coin is clearly not the same coin NGC photographed, but all you focused on was that the slab style is wrong.

Anyone buying PM's need to invest in a sigma metalytics, a coin pinger and a balance tool for gold oz coins and a pocket balance. The latter three can be carried in a pocket, but are not bullet proof. All of theses tools together get you to a very high confidence level. As long as you have a phone, you should scan and compare stabbed coins as an extra measure.

[@WorldMoneyWins]

At least make a coin slide, and a pocket pinger along with the Sunshine lens. Much of the risk is gone when buying from a reputable dealer. It still happens though.

I agree, and for now I have one scan program on this phone. The whole thing cam to a head as I was standing chatting with old and new friends at the Organic Market here in Mexico. A local guy came up to me and asked if I wanted to buy a coin. I poked at it, thought OK, 1916, you have my attention. I assumed silver dollar, and about 90% silver, so I quickly offered 200 pesos, or about 9 bucks. The guy said “Give me 400.” I said “No” and turned to walk away. He said “OK” and I took the ‘risk.’ The scan said 16 dollars to 4800 or so. Upon digging at the NGC site (and taking a closer look to see it was NOT a dollar) I discovered it was a Barber Half, and the mint was SF. The price appears to be 570 or more. I will send it to NGC to get it authenticated.

Study your coins folks, dont just buy and stack. Inspect them, double check them, get familiar with the fonts used. I can immediately see the wrong font on the 2023 ASE. Also, the 2 sunrays touch Liberty's dress/flag but on the newer type 2 reverse coins, the sunrays on the obverse only have 1 ray that touches the flag...small things like that should alert you about the coin you are inspecting.

Having collected coins for 30 years, since I was 8, I've come to learn that unless you're buying and selling true rarities, coin collecting is nothing more than an expensive hobby and not an investment. I do have a few coins that have appreciated in value over 20 years, but not wildly so. If I had invested that same money in the stock market, I'd have far more money. Heck - I had fun while it lasted and do, from time to time, like to look at the few coins I've kept. As for everything else I owned, I sold it all and dumped the proceeds into my Roth IRA - which has grown significantly more in the past 5 years than all my coins combined over the past 30.

This is how i buy gold and silver coins: 1) I do my due diligence 2) "When in doubt i throw it out" and do not buy it. I had to let go some wonderful gold coins in the past because something was seriously off about it. ( will tell you down below what i got confronted with) 3) with these "grading firms" there are bound to get fakes in. I mean people make certificates of anything to make a quick buck, dollar, yuan, euro or pound. As such, i look at what the official grades actually look like and what to pay attention to ( no matter if you are at a flea market, coin shop, coin convention or numismatic meeting, though numismatic meetings have no counterfeits unless some member brings one with him/her to have the team look at it). I have a small booklet with me where i have written down the things to look out for. Now for some of my experiences. I was in a coinshop near Frankfurt. There were some "graded coins" there just like those featured in your video. However when i ran over a mini magnet the "gold coin" stuck to the plastic. I wisely backed out of that shop. When i was visiting a NY jewellery longtime friend ( known each other since kindergarten and are like brothers from another mother). He bought a gold bar in good faith from a dealer that came recommended. Everything checked out, even the weight was nearly almost perfect. Turned out they holed out the gold bar, filled it with tungsten and then resealed it. ALL the security marks were present. Oh that "recommended dealer" was in legal hot water. My friend now uses highly technical equipment to check the bars validity and does not go on "good faith" anymore. He took a good financial hit with that bogus bar. What i do not agree with is coinshops confiscating supposed "counterfeits". it is a "guilty until proven innocent" road and i am not a fan of that. Like many down below commented: " a less reputable coin shop can confiscate real deal gold coins and claim that "they fake bro". Just say "no we do not buy those because we suspect they are fake" and then explain why you think they are fake. Just a heads up, a numismatic member of our group, been in the business of coin collecting and is one of the most careful and cautious buyers i have ever met, got bamboozled with these grades as well. With him everything was "authentic". Just like with this, the number and barcode matched, the holographic mark was there ( the actual one) and there was a special seal that, so far he could see was not broken. Still it was a fake coin. Thanks for putting these videos out. Novices that want to collect coins as well as more experienced people need these kinds of videos to know what to look out for.

[@chrissahar2014]

You can get silver coins that are authentic from ebay BUT usually from dealers selling mint sets or a silver coin in the original government packaging and looks very much untampered. I generally do not get bullion coins (maybe once a year) and avoid anything that has substantial numismatic worth. For those I go to a brick and mortar dealer to see the object in person. A reputable dealer will hold a coin for your if you want to double check the dealer's track record and the coin. If a dealer is pressuring to buy something immediately that to me is a red flag to run far away!

I thought people collected counterfeit currency as long as it was stamped counterfeit. But I guess it is illegal. I thought I had seen some U.S. counterfeit notes for sale at a coin shop a couple decades ago in L.A., but can't remember. Collecting fake money would be an interesting area of collection.

You can order any of these fakes from a Chinese super store. Fake $100's as well as all of these fake coins, and even fake Credit Suisse gold bars. They're a couple bucks. The better fakes are a bit tougher to find and cost a little more, but the crooks trying to pass these are NOT losing money. We're talking a few bucks for a couple grand.

The law states possession with intent. Meaning mearly possessing it isn't a crime on it's own, like using them as decoy, if you are trying to spend it or sell it, knowing it was fake, you would be committing a crime. It's a hard crime to prosecute.

What makes them look like the real thing? How would you catch Orichalcum ? Is there a hand held tester for %?

[@WholeCosmos]

[@Ali-Muscle]

Who are the top three- five best online dealers to buy from ?

[@williamshanaman5098]

This is why you don’t buy gold or silver from ads on TV

Does the bar code on the holder mean anything?

[@aleski4090]

Found one of your 2020 hand poured 10oz bars at the LCS here in Sacramento region. Snapped that right up. Just Keep Stacking

[@CKILBY-zu7fq]

Yeah but you haven't replied to my question which you brought up, when did the Ridge Security mark start?, what year coins are these marks on? Are they on older coins also or just these new ones.

[@kennethcurrier917]

What does sonically sealed actually mean?

[@emperorwang0861]

Harry: "it's bad etiquette." Reality: it's fraudulent behavior. Harry is such a nice guy.

[@DopecatSpotted]

That really sucks, makes buying anything from anywhere just that much more risky. Dammit

[@jimburke8325]

Newbie asking: When you sell coins or rounds to a dealer do they have to be out of the plastic capsules or do they buy them in the capsule?

[@WorldMoneyWins]

Either way. They can verify them even inside a capsule. I would recommend taking them in to the dealer as you have them. :-)

[@SilverDragons47]

usually they keep everything in the capsule 🔥🐉

[@jimburke8325]

Thank you

Scammers make starting up in the minting / pouring space extreamly difficult

[@jamesjoy8866]

I bought a silver eagle that I was almost sure was fake. I took it to the dealer I buy silver from. The sales lady told me it was fake without even touching it. The owner told me it is a crime to possess counterfeit coins. He said get it marked with the word copy to be legal. I had an engraving store add Copy so I could keep it. When I reported the issue to Etsy they refunded my purchase price.

[@Mario-pz8gh]

Is there a way to test slabbed gold or silver coins? Are the holders not to thick ?

[@PinballBob1]

One simple way is through experience. Old gold coins have a certain luster, or cartwheel effect, & color that cannot be faked. An 1800's gold coin does not look very bright yellow. Using your eyes on legit coins will give you a good clue as to what looks "right". Experience is what you need badly, right before you get some.

[@CatsMeowPaw]

The confiscation issue is a problem. On the one hand these are still legal tender and should be taken out of circulation as quickly as possible, but on the other it would be easy for an unscrupulous dealer to say 'aww, this gold is fake' and confiscate a genuine coin. I think informing a customer that they're fake and letting them take the coins back is the best bet. What the customer chooses to do with them is then on them.

[@user-eo7cf2cd7k]

Goldback should come out with a mining scene vignette on their aurum notes. Something like they used on old mining stock certificates. Also, a good American Indian scene would be good, with feather headdress / war bonnets. The notes don't have to be sponsored by states, just have them issued just by Goldback. States do not matter except to collectors. They are all fungible in you are not a collector. And once you start paying super high collector $$ it loses it value as a barter item in SHTF. That does not mean you will lose a Goldbacks premium, it means people are not interested if the premium is stupendous unless they are paying the collector value.
